Just DO IT John! We NEED you there!!! Show everyone what Bayh should have been doing all of these years for Indiana folks!

[Don Caballero]

1. No!!!!

I do not want an aging soft rock guy representing me in Senate. No thank you.

[brentspeak]

3. Then you have nothing to worry about -- Mellencamp isn't a "soft rocker"

Stones-y rocker, more like it.

Seriously though, judging from his work with Farm Aid and other issues, a Senator Mellencamp would be the kind of pro-working-class Senator this nation needs more of.

[cascadiance]

11. Damn right, if a comedian can be a damn good senator in Minnesota...

Then damnit, a good rocker who speaks and sings for the people should also not be a bad man to stand up for us too!

[gmoney]

5. Enjoy your asshat conservative republican then.

Mellencamp would be a great choice, IMHO. He's got name recognition, money to run a campaign, a great record with Farm Aid, and his heart's in the right place.

Or perhaps you'd prefer some former corn lobbyist to get elected and shove a little GM corn down your throat.

[Don Caballero]

6. I would like to draft Paul Helmke

My former mayor. He is now the head of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. Mellencamp has a lot of skeletons in his closet.

[Sebastian Doyle]

8. Well, if you consider Mellencamp to be "soft rock" then how about ......

...Senator Roth?

(born and raised in Bloomington)

[Don Caballero]

9. I would prefer Senator WIlliam Axl Rose born and raised in West Lafayette

Ha ha. We do have quite a few celebs from here.

[Sebastian Doyle]

10. Not a chance

Have you heard "Chinese Democracy"?? :rofl:

[mod mom]

14. Would you rather have another corporatist chosen by the party apparatus or someone

who speaks out about social injustice?

[Sebastian Doyle]

2. Cougar for Senate!

The President and First Lady seem to like the guy.

Ain't that America?

[WCGreen]

7. I wonder how many people will vote for him because they think

he is a hot older chick....

Seriously, is he thinking about running?

He would be a great populist and he is a dedicated progressive Christian if memory serves me right...

[FailureToCommunicate]

12. They do. AND he just played at the White House...

13. It's interesting that he played for Hillary's campaign along with (urp!) Evan Bayh!

And Evan Bayh afterward of course was making a lot of false promises in his speech here about taking back the country for "the people"...

So Evan, are you going to repay John Mellencamp's favor and endorse him to replace you?

[gimama]

4. YES!!! Do it, John!!!

Goood video..GREAT Message.
Damn Sweeet!
